Abstract: Lots of studies have been done on Gujarati diaspora but not much is done on socio-cultural dimensions of life in host country and its impact in country of origin. Most migrants wanted to permanently settle in England and Canada. Primary cause of immigration and settlement in host country is by economic reasons like economic inconvenience and less employment opportunities with low job securities. However it does not imply their dislike for their tradition, social structure and culture of natal community, which they are still preserving in host countries. Encouraging factor for immigration and settlement of respondents was due to supporting family, kinship and caste networks in host countries. And their (NRGs) status of being successful in country of origin.

Abstract: This study investigated the relationships of psychological wellbeing, emotional intelligence, and locus of control to the prediction of sexual health behaviour among Nigerian adolescents. It further established the influence of gender, parents' socio-economic factors and family structure on adolescents' sexual health behaviour. Participants were 4,563adolescentsrandomly selected from twenty-four (24) secondary schools in 12 local government areas out of 20 in Ogun State, Nigeria.Measures of biographical data, psychological wellbeing, emotional intelligence, locus of control and sexual behaviourscales were administered on the sample. Correlation matrixand hierarchical multiple regression analysis was used to analyse the data collected. Results showed that all the demographic factors(ΔR2 = .04, df(3,4559) = 3.817, p< .05)and psychological wellbeing (ΔR2 = .267, β = .55, df(4,4558) = 7.123, p< .05), emotional intelligence(ΔR2 = .176, β = .37, df(5,4557) = 4.827, p < .05), locus of control(ΔR2 = .176, β = .37, df(6,4557) = 9.229, p < .05)significantly predicted adolescents' sexual health behaviour. Findings suggest the need for the homes to play a significant role in the proper psychosocial development of the child, and must not shy away from educating the child about sexuality (reproductive healthy knowledge).

Abstract: In this paper we examined the challenges posed by institutionally generated crises on the economic integration plans initiated by the South-South geo-political zone of Nigeria. The overarching objective was to identify and provide a systematic analysis of the embedded crises, outline their consequential challenges and provide the public and policy-makers a guiding framework to redirect paradigms towards ending the crises. Using the theoretical lenses of the Cognitive Institutional Perspective (CIP) – a combination of Neo-institutional theory and Cognitive theory – we explore the several features and complexes that influence the actions and reactions of the South-South Governors to the NBC new boundary regime and the pronouncements of the Supreme Court on the several cases of redress and interpretation that were before it. In order to end the face-off generated by the crises, we asked and answered three related questions drawing largely from documentary and media publication evidences. After discussing the challenges, we offer recommendations towards ending the crises. These include mediation by the South-South leaders, mediation by the South-South traditional Rulers, and intensification of effort toward the realization of the South-South economic integration to spur growth in the South-South States, among others.

Abstract: Our society is currently at a crossroads and an urgent need to revamp our present education system so that it morphs into a pivotal tool in developing values. Is required Value Education a model of teaching - a way of thinking? With the need for value inculcation realized, we must address the vehicles for executing the same. In this regard, various value development models have been suggested. An education setting model of value education includes a theory about how people develop morally and myriad strategies for fostering moral development. Of these various Value Development Models two models that seem to be appropriate in inculcating desirable values in students and being feasible enough for widespread implementation are the Value Clarification and Role Playing Models. Since both the Value Development Models are supposed to be quite effective, a study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of both Value Clarification and Role Playing Models so that either one of them could be used as an effective tool in inculcating desirable values in classroom situations. It was found that both the Value Clarification Model and Role Playing Model proved to be nearly equally effective as far as the inculcation of the selected values on primary school children was concerned.

Keywords: Primary School Students, Value Clarification, Role Playing, Value Development Models.

Abstract: The society that Saul Bellow (1915-2005) depicts in his novel Seize the Day (1956) is overwhelmed with materialism, which brings ruin in common people‟s fate, and eventually is to be murdered everywhere. Here, the word "Murder‟ doesn‟t mean "the unlawful killing of one human by other, especially with premeditated malice"; rather it is symbolically used to express the slaying of human sense, belief, love and passion, in a word humanity. In the contemporary American capitalist society money stands as a mammon to man. Therefore, the present article has attempted to discuss the relationship between materialism and murder in Bellow‟s merciless society and the cause of this psychological murder. Our protagonist, Tommy Wilhelm can‟t adapt himself in this materialistic trench of society, and is to be detached from his father, wife, children, and from rest of the world. In fact, this paper tries to discover how materialism expunges family relationship as well as human relationship and this very relationship is to be murdered as well.

Abstract: This study is designed to assess some Socio-economic and demographic characteristics of parents/caregivers such as age, sex, marital status, religion, occupation, educational background and residential ownership status (independent variables) and their influence on birth registration (dependent variable) coverage in Gombe State. The findings were based on primary data sourced from the field through questionnaire survey, interview and field observation and secondary data on population, localities and registered live-birth data collected from the National Population Commission for a period of eight years (2000-2008). A total of 1530 respondents who were heads of households and parents/caregivers of eligible/registerable children aged 0-20 years were interviewed. It was conceptually hypothesized that the independent variables have influence on the dependent variable. Use was made of tests, percentages and cross tabulations in an attempt to analyze the influence. The analysis of the data revealed that, almost all the respondents were males and married. The paper further observed that all the independent variables with the exception of sex and marital status are found to have significant influence on the dependent variable. It is therefore suggested that for birth registration system to be effective, permanent and sustained a long term approach such as its integration into immunization and other early child development programmes are needed alongside aggressive enlightenment campaigns to be undertaken by all the principal stakeholders and to be directed mainly towards the rural areas. More registration centres should also be established in the nucleus of rural population.

Abstract: Applying transitivity on the sonnet is what this research does; it is different from other previous researches which applying transitivity on other kinds of text. This research occupies the descriptive analysis method, in order to cultivate the sonnet to find out the type of process in transitivity. After analyzing the data from three Shakespeare's sonnets, this research finally is able to posit that there are four process types of six types appearing; they are material process, mental process, relational process and existential process. Due to identify which type of process more often appears in these three sonnets, the researcher calculates and makes the table. This research finds that material process appeared more often than others; after that, mental process, relational process and existential process. On the other hand, the researcher as well identified some archaic words; such as 'hath', 'mayst', 'see'st', 'fadeth', 'doth', 'perceivest', 'ere', 'thou', 'thy', and 'writ'.

Abstract: A number of scholars agree that frequent cultivation raises soil bulk density through compaction and destruction of soil structure. However, no research has been conducted to establish how the intensity of farmland cultivatedvaries with soil bulk density in different physiographic units.High soil bulk density lowers root penetration and seed germination and therefore can be used as a measure of land degradation.Likewise the intensity of farmland cultivated can be used to measure agricultural land use intensity. This study focused on establishing the effect of physiographic units on the relationship between the intensity of farmland cultivated and soil bulk densityin Nyakach District of Kenya.Physiographic units considered comprised of Plateau, Scarp Slopes, Plains and Valley Bottoms.A cross-sectional research design involving the use of purposive and simple random sampling was adopted. Structured questionnaire was used to interview 384out of the 29,214farmsteads. Soil samples were collected for laboratory analysis of soil bulk density. Correlation and regression analyses were employed in the assessment of the nature and strength of the relationship between the intensity of farmland cultivated and soil bulk density in different physiographic units. Statistically significant relationships between the intensity of farmland cultivated and soil bulk density were found in the Plateau (r = -0.267), the Scarp Slopes (r = -0.279), and the Valley Bottoms (r = -0.286) at 0.01 level of confidence. The results for the Plains showed that the relationship was statistically insignificant (r = -0.235).The study concluded that physiographic units have a significant influence on the relationships between the intensity of farmland cultivated and soil bulk density.

Abstract: Employment is a crucial issue for the ongoing Telangana Movement. The movement has made job opportunities and appointments one of the slogans' rather important elements, along with water and resources. On every occasion, the Telangana Joint Action Committee (JAC) and the protagonists of the political movement Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) highlight the issue of unemployment and explain the betrayal of Andhra rulers and governments. This slogan not only helped the movement to mobilise the youth and students, but the data presentation related to historical injustice done to Telangana youth is becoming a major issue for bifurcation. The Srikrishna committee, which was constituted to find a solution through "wider consultation", is flooded with representations from various sections and stakeholders. Among all, the issue of unemployment and betrayal to Telangana youth in employment opportunities is emerging as one of the major reasons for the state's bifurcation. This paper is an attempt to explore the sociological reasons for unrest among the youth of the Telangana region with reference to the failures of the governments in keeping up the promises and implementing the rules and orders from time to time.

Abstract:This paper explores the United Nations' initiatives and strategies in assisting Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs) between 2005 and 2010. LLDCs face specific developmental challenges due to lack of direct access to the sea, which hampers their trade, infrastructure development, and socio-economic progress. The research focuses on multilateral frameworks, such as the Almaty Programme of Action (APOA), and evaluates their impact on trade facilitation, transport infrastructure, capacity building, and regional cooperation. Additionally, the paper analyses the roles of relevant UN agencies, development partners, and LLDC governments during the period
